Past Projects : 1996-2000 : Humboldt Greenway
The Humboldt Greenway aimed to revitalize the housing market and long-term
livability in two post-war neighborhoods—Lind-Bohanon and Shingle
Creek—in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The project used public road and
park investments to spur private housing investment, combining a number
of elements: the transformation of a county minor arterial roadway into
a signature parkway; 280 new housing units that diversify the local mix
and add a new product type to the metropolitan mix; a new two-acre Minneapolis
park; a new regional trail; a pedestrian greenway; and creek improvements
and storm water protection. The Design Center was involved at a number
of stages of the project, including a long-term public engagement process.
